This year Disney Research will present its new Touché interface.
Touché turns everyday objects into multi-touch, gesture-recognizing interfaces. It only requires minimal instrumentation of the objects, with just a single small electrode.

Microsoft Research will present SoundWave. SoundWave is a Kinect-like system that uses your computer’s built-in microphone and speakers to provide object detection and sense gestures using the Doppler effect, similar to how a submarine uses a sonar.
